  1. She isn’t the first Black Miss Missouri. The first black Miss Missouri is Debbye Turner who when on to become Miss America.

    1. You do understand that Miss America and Miss USA are two different pageants right…or maybe not lol. Reading is fundamental! ; )

  2. Congrats to her but she looks like your typical basic Midwestern girl. I would not have voted for her.
